Ride the Loop, close the Gap: Finch hydro corridor trail crossing Yonge between Hendon and Bishop

I will be the Project Champion for this idea.

I recently rode my bike on part of the 72 km "Ride the Loop, Close the Gap" bike trail ride that was organized by the Toronto Community Bike Coalition. This was a full day event with the opportunity to see our beautiful city through the amazing trails and communities from downtown back to downtown. The ride loops through the Finch Hydro Trail in our neighbourhood. There are 9-10 small but significant gaps on the loop that are very dangerous, or not accessible by bike: one of them happens to be in our neighbourhood, which is the crossing between Bishop and Hendon, intersecting Yonge. Most cyclists ride on the sidewalk while others brave the road along with other cars and the TTC buses! It is confusing, unsafe, and someone unfamiliar with the area will easily get lost. I propose to take the lead to collaborate ideas to improve safety for everyone, and close the gap on this section of the trail.
